Can this hub be used to connect 16 external 5TB hard drives to one PC? So to speak as a bilig server? Or is this hub only made to load 16 devices?

The i-tec USB 3.0 hub can theoretically connect 16 external hard drives as it offers 16 USB 3.0 ports. However, it is primarily designed for charging devices, with each port providing up to 10 W of power. For use as a "cheap server" with external hard drives, it could work, but the power supply could be a limit, as the hub has a maximum output of 90W. This may not be sufficient for many hard drives as they often require more power. It is important to check the power requirements of the hard drives to ensure that the hub can supply them with sufficient power.

@Digitec & @i-tec Support : How is one supposed to be able --as claimed-- to simultaneously load 16 Devices with the maximum of 10Watts per Port with the 90Watt Power Supply this HUB comes with? 0.o Are you trying to sell us Free Energy USB Hubs now? XD Facing this, i'm curious of what will happen, if one really would add 16 Loads which try to suck 10Watts? Will it go up in a Mushroom Cloud, or is there any Protection? How will the Protection react, if any is in Place at all? With that i mean, let's say i run a Cluster of ~10Watt consuming ARM Devices with that HUB, which of Course should not abruptly had to take Power drops, so what will happen if i add a 10th 10Watt consuming Device, which surely would overload the possible 90Watts? Will the HUB lower Power across the entire HUB and therefore under powering all the ARM Servers, which leads to Data Loss, or will it even blow a Main Fuse of the HUB and therefore terminating all the running Servers brutally? If so, what Type of Fuse? Resettable Ones? Or does it just intelligently block the Power - or blow the Fuse of the 10th Devices Port? What happens if one Port alone gets overloaded, with lets say a Raspberry Pi4@~15Watts, or even beefier Devices? PS. A Arduino/Raspberry PI GPIO per Port controllable USB HUB like this gigantic one would be cool ;D Tip: It is nice that you have a fancy Tux Sign on your Website to suggest, that this HUB should be GNU+Linux compatible, but i think Delock did a much better Job by publishing which Chipset their probably identical HUB uses, and since which Kernel Version it should be supported! <--I usually prefer to buy from People who are at least this much professional;) Posting `uname -srvmo; dmesg | tail; lsusb -v -d ${vendor}:${product}` Outputs after connecting the HUB to a Linux Machine would be even better, and would result in much <3 & $ from Linux Users! Thanks in advance for plausible Answers!

Is this adapter suitable for Lego LED light set?

Hello, We have not tested this with Lego LED sets. However, if the Lego LEDs need 5 V and up to 2A, this should work. But as I wrote, we have not tested it, so I cannot guarantee it.
